Let’s talk about family portraits. We all know why they’re important, but how do you make them stand out? This family session is a great example of how good colors and a few great props can go along way towards creating stand out portraits!

Pick color schemes that are fun and let the kids be playful in their wardrobe, keeping the adults in solids so that they don’t clash. Here they used favorite reading books, a few fun stuffed animals and a home-made sign (family on a string!) to tie it all together – no pun intended.

And then set the tone on ‘playful’ so that individual personalities shine and you can really get a sense in the end of the ‘branches’ of the family tree. We’ll be posting more ideas along these lines in the months to come, so stay tuned! A heart-felt ‘thanks’ to the Labbo family for demonstrating all those great tips so beautifully.
